Notice

COVID-19: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sonoma State University has transitioned to remote instruction for spring 2020. Employees are working remotely in almost all departments. Email is the best way to communicate with our faculty and staff.

Summer Orientation Update: Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, Sonoma State University has made the difficult decision to transition to online orientation and registration programs and services. The Orientation team remains here to support your transition to campus, learn about the many valuable resources, connect with other incoming students, and assist with course registration for Fall classes.

If you have a current orientation reservation, please watch for an e-mail with instructions about the new online orientation experience. If you are newly committed to SSU and haven't chosen an Orientation session yet, we will be reaching out to you in the coming days.

Congratulations!

Welcome to Sonoma State University!

We are excited to have you as part of our Seawolf community!

Orientation is required for all incoming students and is designed to assist you in making a successful transition to SSU. During your Orientation you will learn about campus departments and resources, general education and major requirements, and important dates/deadlines. Orientation will also provide you an opportunity to experience the campus and meet fellow incoming students, faculty and staff. Be prepared to meet new people, make new friends and learn all that SSU has to offer!

We are glad that you have chosen SSU to continue your education and look forward to meeting you. Go Seawolves!
